Last week we touched upon the importance of the Federal Reserve and their waffling in regards to staying consistent with their rate hiking plans. The FED is supposed to be independent of political influence but it seems that POTUS and his constant remarks have taken their toll as Powell seems to be tight roping his options right now.

One of the things we pride ourselves in is the fact that we do not take public information for face value, nor do we even contemplate the sources very much. That seems risky right, but in realty what we are being sold and who’s selling it are about as trustworthy as a 3 year old holding an ice cream cone without giving it a lick. In fact, we are inundated with various reports from all over the World Wide Web, main stream media, etc.

This is going to be a quick note with some charts due to the Thanksgiving holiday week. We continue to see bounces being sold into in terms of the equity markets.

As such, investors are looking for investments to protect and enhance returns when this cycle ends.
